Trading Places present a reissue of
Judd
's self-titled album, originally released in 1970. Alsatian wunderkind
Mark Wirtz
led many successful pop music projects during the 1960s and '70s, especially during his long tenure at Abbey Road. A gifted painter, musician and actor, Wirtz's college band was signed to EMI as
Mark Rogers and the Marksmen
, while Wirtz was still attending the RADA in London; by 1965 he was producing music independently and became an in-house producer at Abbey Road in 1967, working with
Keith West
and
Tomorrow
and fronting the
Mark Wirtz Orchestra
, AKA
The Mood Mosaic
. The blues and soul-tinged
Judd
album, issued in 1970 on
Larry Page
's Penny Farthing label, featured Wirtz on keyboards and rhythm guitar, fronting a studio band with bassist
Roger Flavell
, guitarist
Roger McKew
, and drummer
Tat Meager
(who had played on
Siren
's eponymous,
John Peel
-produced debut LP); backing vocalists such as
Madeleine Bell
,
Doris Troy
, and sisters
Yvonne
and
Heather Wheatman
, AKA
Sonny and Sue
, gave a more rounded sound. Much of the material was co-written by
Kris Ife
, who had worked with McKew in
The Quiet Five
, though there is also an individual cover of
Creedence Clearwater Revival
's "Down On The Corner", made livelier by Wirtz's piano chords. 180 gram vinyl; Gatefold sleeve. Licensed by Larry Page Productions.
